One Nation’s polling surge is not a statistical anomaly, and means Pauline Hanson is now as much a threat to the Coalition as Anthony Albanese

    Here we go. Prepare for days and days of these kinds of articles.

    ON’s vote is fragmented. That’s why they can win ~20% of the primary vote but not win any seats. The Libs came third and still have a presence in the SA lower house.

    All Poorlean is doing is eating into the conservative vote. The swings clearly show that the gains for ON come directly at the expense of the Libs.

  2. Pauline wins no seats in SA.
    7 west owned “The Nigthly” spins it as a win and Newcorp spins it as an “earthqake”.

    Usual

    I kind of doubt that Pauline has ever heard of hubris. With any luck, she will assume her Party is on the road to glory and will go full ratbag. Sorry, full RW ratbag.

    Not doing so would be hard to resist for any political leader but Pauline isn’t known for personal restraint of any kind. Quite the opposite. Maybe Barnaby, the ex-National Party ratbag can rein her in.

    The average Australian voter, however, tends to hover somewhere in the political middle where Trumpian ideology is just as much an anathema as communists hiding under futons. Time will tell.

    I see a lot of this across all media outlets, that PHON is surging but people keep pointing out no seats won. The polling seems to indicate that people are voting for them.
    I believe it’s the same as The Greens in Vic, they lost seats in the recent election but gained votes.

    I’m confused, they didn’t win any seats. Why is every second media article having a huge boner about them?

  6. One might presume the title was meant to mean, ‘One Nation…as much of a threat to Albanese as it is to the Coalition.’
